Steve Davis v Dennis Taylor, 1985

Hazel Irvine relives the most famous Crucible final, often referred to as the Black Ball Final from 1985 between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. It finished well past midnight and was watched by an audience of 18.5 million. Davis, a three-time winner and world number one, was expected to beat 36-year-old Dennis Taylor with ease especially after opening up an 8-0 lead. But remarkably, Taylor fought his way back into the match, forcing a deciding frame and the rest is history.
